"Two Bottles" by Li Hua Mahalik

                                              Oil on Board, 12x9

There are quite a lot of things I learned from painting this: there can't be light without the dark; the translucent light alongside the bottle could be done straight from the tube of the right value and color (which I didn't have, I had a hell of a time making it look even close. I mixed white with light green and cobalt blue but only made it opaque or dull looking. Light turquoise would have been good); green pepper is not that complicated to paint, it just takes a little patience; backgrounds are fun to paint, just don't paint what you see if they are too busy; 

don't put too many cherries on the table. 

( I'm taking reservation for Qiang Huang's workshop in 2013 here in Scottsdale.

"Yellow Roses In Vase" by Li Mahalik

Oil on Telati Board, 11x14

***

There are times when we are stuck in a not-so-good spot to paint a live model, we have to be more inventive and selective to move object(s) around in our mind and then on canvas for better composition. In this painting, I was looking at three objects evenly spaced with no overlapping whatsoever. I elected to paint the vase with roses and a little brown bottle next to it. Bad choice! I forgot about the magic of threesomes (or odd numbers).

So, I took out the little bottles and placed a rose petal, instead. I think it worked better.
